Self-centred weather forecasting

My absolutely least favourite thing about Australian summers[1]: Hot days with strong norwesterly winds blowing, the air is filled with smoke, and I can't figure out where the fire is near us. Further away, sadly homes have been lost near Picton to bushfire.

I apologise to everyone dealing with these conditions, clearly it's our fault: my sister and her friends are running a tennis day today to raise money for the Leukaemia Foundation. I spent a while there, and the DOZENS of cupcakes that I spent yesterday baking were selling well/

Oh great, sirens. Fuel my paranoia some more, go on.

and it's only spring!
